Chandigarh, September 19, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has called upon the people of Punjab to join the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra’ and contribute to the campaign against drugs.
In a video message posted on social media platform X, Chouhan said Punjab was facing a serious drug crisis that had devastated families and damaged the lives and futures of many young people.
Under the BJP’s slogan ‘Eradicate Drugs Completely’, the party is organising the ‘Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra’ across Punjab from September 18 to September 30. The campaign began on September 18 from Madhopur in Pathankot, with yatras being organised from four locations.
Chouhan is scheduled to reach Takht Sri Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo on September 21, where he will join Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini to flag off the fourth yatra after offering prayers.
Expressing concern over the drug situation in Punjab, Chouhan alleged that the Aam Aadmi Party government had failed to address the problem effectively. He said the time had come for people to wage a decisive battle against drugs.
Appealing to Punjabis to participate in the campaign, Chouhan said, “My sisters and brothers of Punjab, elders, sons and daughters — come forward and participate in this yatra in large numbers to make Punjab drug-free. Let us fight a decisive battle against drugs so that Punjab can be made drug-free.”
